Student Opinions About Studying in Mobile
“Mobile is a charming city to live in, with lots of old buildings and architecture that gives it a special character. The locals are super friendly and polite, and you’ll always find something to do, especially downtown. There’s practically no traffic jams, which is welcome news for those thinking of having a car while living here.”
“I’ll be straight forward: friendly people, good food, and a quiet city. It’s still in development, but Mobile has everything you need and more, from shops, restaurants, and good education, to parks, squares and architectural history.”
“The cost of living here is quite a bit cheaper than the average, which has been helpful for living alone and independently for the first time in my life. Living in a studio apartment is affordable, but you always have the option to share a room with classmates. The entertainment options are more varied than what I expected.”
